All or most workers have bank accounts, why transition into something that isn't fully understood or adopted for transactions? The resultant effect would similar to what happened with the change of currency design attempt. These people don't seem to learn. Give the workers the option to select how they want to be paid and if you want them to use the eNaira option sell it to them with incentives to motivate them to use it. Don't force them. No one forces the use of crypto on another. omikel: Source: https://punchng.com/fg-may-pay-salaries-through-enaira-platform-report/[i][/i] |

Are you transitioning from one SOC to another with a different employer? That might be the reason for their being unable to sponsor Grace321: Please help me out. I got this email from a job I applied for. I got my first COS before April 2024 which I believe enables me to transition. Going through gov.uk website, I qualify for the lower going rate for the job. The job salary is more than the lower going rate but in their email they said it’s not high enough (which I don’t understand) and can only sponsor via new entrant, in which I do not meet the requirements.
Please see below email “You have been verbally offered the above role and, as you are currently on a Sponsored Visa with your employer, you will need new Sponsorship with the Trust. The role you have been offered comes under Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) Code 3111 Laboratory technicians. This is a Medium Skilled role and, as the Trust do not require 3 years’ experience, we are only able to Sponsor this role as it is on the Temporary Shortage List. The salary required to Sponsor means that we can also only Sponsor someone who is eligible to apply as a New Entrant, as otherwise the Band 3 Salary is not high enough to Sponsor”. Please how can I go about this?
Thank you |

The bolded - Not sure that is correct, the reason for allowing 20hrs a week work for students is to enable them earn for part of their upkeep and not primarily to pay their fees. Their fees are meant to have been covered by the proof of funds which also includes for their upkeep and that of their dependents. Goke7: Are you sure? There is a reason why students are allowed to work 20 hours a week and full time when on holidays, some of these things were actually factored in including allowing dependents or spouses to work full time until recently but still PhD and research students spouses can still work full time.
These things are not as straightforward as we think, the western world financial system is a credit based system and where flexible payments are allowed this is the credit they are also extending to international students just like they allow domestic students to get loans to pay up sch fees and for up keep expenses. The shift in policy now is all related to the current mood and national discourse and has nothing to do with principles even financial principles and of course in due time we will see a shift again when in reality it will no longer make financial sense for the schools themselves but this idea that uk education is a luxury and not a necessity cannot hold as education remains one of the major export and forex earner for this country and they still need to compete globally if we don’t want to see more job losses and economic damage. |

There's no miracle there. The Fx issue was cause by over importation of petrol. With Dangote's refinery coming on stream, that reduced the dependency on imported petrol. DeLaRue: Some on Nairaland even say Cardoso knows nothing and that he's only CBN Governor be ause he is Yoruba. You just have to shake your head.
Recently, Mr Otedola said Mr Cardoso is the best CBN Governor in Nigeria's history. I have been saying that here on Nairaland for the best part of a year.
Now, Mr Elemelu is singing a similar chorus.
Many African Central Bank Governors are rushing to learn the mini miracle that the Nigerian CBN has performed in the past 2 years.
If you give me the option of Mr Cardoso, Mr Sanusi, and Mr Soludo,I will pick Mr Cardoso without blinking an eye because an unsung general who has led an army in a near-calamitous war, and won, is better than a flamboyant general who talks a good game but has never been to any war. |

Celebrities › Re: Verydarkman Claims Ownership Of “don’t Play,” Accuses Wizkid Of Sampling It by bigtt76(f): 8:02am On Jan 26 |
Na wey person no go trademark him name 'VeryDarkMan' na shei we all want to move mad 😃 alphonsoolajide: Controversial social media activist VeryDarkMan (VDM) has sparked fresh controversy online after claiming ownership of the popular phrase “Don’t Play,” alleging that it has been legally trademarked under his name.
The claim surfaced amid his ongoing online feud with music superstar Wizkid, following debates surrounding the singer’s statement about being “bigger than Fela.” Eyes Of Lagos reports,
In a video currently circulating on social media, VeryDarkMan alleged that Wizkid used the phrase without permission, insisting that people often misunderstand what constitutes intellectual property.
According to him, not only music but also words and phrases can be legally sampled when trademarked.
“Na me get am. I spent close to one million naira to trademark my name and that phrase,” he said, displaying what he claimed were documents backing his ownership.
He further stated that his trademarks include “VeryDarkMan,” “VDM,” and the phrase “Don’t Play,” adding that Wizkid allegedly sampled the phrase without authorisation.
While speaking, VDM also mentioned that other Nigerian artistes, including Kizz Daniel, have used the phrase, which he described as proof of its widespread influence.
“For you to know how big ‘Don’t Play’ is, even Kizz Daniel don use am,” he said.
The activist did not stop at the allegation, as he also took aim at Wizkid’s fanbase, popularly known as Wizkid FC.
He dismissed attacks from fans and challenged them to grow stronger before confronting him, while boasting about the influence of the Ratel movement, which he described as a community of “nation builders.”
“Wizkid FC, make una join the fanbase of other celebrities wey I don call out before. When una don big well well, then una fit come for me,” he stated.
He added that Wizkid’s supporters were no match for the Ratel movement, insisting that his followers stood for accountability and social justice.
VDM’s claims have triggered mixed reactions online, with some users questioning the legality of trademarking common phrases, while others called for Wizkid or his management to respond to the allegation.
As of the time of filing this report, Wizkid and his team have not issued any official response to VeryDarkMan’s claims.

Exactly, they could all have gotten hat-tricks in the game but selfishness and complacency cost them. Same thing cost us the world Cup ticket. I don't blame Osimhen though but it wasn't the right time to vent. He could have brought it up during their team huddle. That's what make a leader. tonididdy: Oshimen has every right to yell at his teammates He's 2 goals shy from all-time records. This is a match that easily he can get 4+ goals personally. So why not! |
